Late spring and early fall are often the sweet spot for camping near Ocean City, Maryland—milder temperatures, fewer mosquitoes than midsummer Assateague, and better campsite availability than July.
July and August deliver classic beach weather with sold-out weekends, peak heat, and heavier insect pressure. Winter camping is limited and weather-dependent.
